Celebs Go (Red) For a Good Cause

Posted by Shirley Brady on April 30, 2010 10:06 AM

President Obama's favorite TV network is now running promos featuring Bono, Penelope Cruz, the Jonas brothers and other celebs to promote The Lazarus Effect, HBO's upcoming AIDS documentary co-produced by the philanthro-branded non-profit (Red).

The Spike Jonze-directed special, which will debut on HBO, Channel 4 (UK) and YouTube on May 24th, promotes (Red)'s efforts fighting HIV and AIDS in Africa. That work, funded by (RED)-branded tie-ins with American Express, Apple, Gap, Starbucks and others.

Check out the spot above, and find more on (RED)'s cross-platform campaign (also on Twitter and Facebook) on its website.
